Giddy up! The Sport of Kings, with its Dressage competitions for equestrians
with disabilities, can be enjoyed for simply freedom and fun too.
Therapeutic Riding has become a popular form of physical activity.
To take your riding skills to the next level, Para-Equestrian events are
open to athletes with visual impairments and physical disabilities. Events
are mixed and grouped based on riders' functional profiles. Riders are
judged on their horsemanship skills using commands at the walk, trot and
canter. Trot on over to the
Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association,
Equestrian Canada or
The Community
Association for Riders with Disabilities
for more information.
